The GOOD STUFF About College Drinking: Social drinking among college peers gives students (freshman, in particular) 1.) a great way to network, 2.) meet members of the opposite sex, 3.) be privy to juicy campus rumors and gossip, 4.) and enables hard-working students to just take a load off after a hard week hunched over a laptop.

The BAD STUFF About College Drinking: 1.) It can get out of hand after only a few drinks, when caution gets thrown to the wind - along with possibly chairs, tables and bar stools, 2.) not to mention mayhem in other forms. Drunk driving puts a permanent end to more 18-25 year-olds than any other drug combined. 3.) and while those jello shots go down easy they can later lead to a bout of all-night hurling, 4.) girls who drink too much may wind up in situations that pass embarrassing and fall under the heading of date rape and 5.) you might have to sober up instantly if help is required when one of your drinking buddies becomes unconscious.

OK, college drinking happens.
